Effects of lisinopril treatment on proteinuria, tubular damage, and C3 and IgG accumulation in proximal tubules and interstitial F4/80+ cells in WT mice receiving BSAa
| Group | Proteinuria (mg/d) | Tubular Damage (Score) | Tubular Staining (Score)
|
F4/80+ Cells (n/HPF) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| C3 | IgG | ||||
| WT + BSA (n = 4) | 36 ± 6 | 1.10 ± 0.20 | 1.3 ± 0.1 | 2.1 ± 0.2 | 49 ± 3 |
| WT + BSA + lisinopril (n = 6) | 12 ± 4b | 0.22 ± 0.10c | 0.5 ± 0.1c | 0.9 ± 0.2c | 20 ± 5c |
Data are means ± SEM. Tubular C3 staining refers to abnormal intratubular C3 accumulation (see the Concise Methods section).
P < 0.05,
P < 0.01 versus WT + BSA.
